hey Simon,
it was just unlucky a neck screw broke. You expect the small tuner screws to break before a 3.5mm screw.
Might pay to rub the screw thread in soap might lower the risk of the screw head snapping off

Ouch :(( What a tough luck Simon!, did you manage to extract the bolt yet? Best of luck

Well I tried to hack away but I thought I would do more damage, so I bit the bullet and took it to my friendly local luthier. He had a tool that he had made himself similar to this one (from the Stew Mac site)

He had the job done in half an hour!
On the plus side he was very impressed with the overall finish of the guitar and the components which I have chosen to make my Super Junior; which made my day!
Now that drama is over it is nearing completion .
Nice one Simon on the home straight now.!
Nice! Nearly there Simon!
glad the screw is out and nice to get some positive feedback
Nice one Simon. Sheared off screws really are the pits. Glad you got it sorted!
cheers,
Gav.
Finished - playing and sounding excellent! Thanks to everyone for your advice and help during this build. Video to follow shortly.
